RULES & REGULATIONS FOR HADDON GLEN SWIMMING CLUB


The following rules have been established to assure the safe and sanitary operation

for the club and facilities AND MAY BE REVISED, OR ADDITIONAL RULES

ESTABLISHED, BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT ANY TIME. The Pool Manager (and in his/her absence,
the manager on duty) has full authority and
responsibility to enforce these regulations. Any interpretation
of the rules will be at the
discretion of the manager on duty.

All members are required to familiarize themselves, and their children and/or guests, with

the rules and to caution their children and/or guests to obey them and the direction of the

club management and staff. Failure to comply with the rules and regulations will be

considered sufficient cause for suspension of club privileges. (All grievances concerning

these rules should be submitted to the Board of Trustees in writing for discussion and

possible revision.)

In order to provide each member an opportunity to familiarize him or herself and children

and/or guests with the club rules and regulations, each member is required to sign and

date the Membership Card on file at the checker stand and to surrender same to club

personnel at the check-in station at the club. No bondholder or member of his family or

any guest of the bondholder will be permitted access to the club facilities unless the

Membership Card has been properly executed at the front desk. All members, guests, and
